Internet Gurus Smileys, Abbreviations, and Internet Jargon

You can't use the Internet properly if you don't know what all the smileys mean, can you? Luckily, several smiley dictionarys are available online:

• Helwig's smiley dictionary: A good list of smileys compiled by a guy in Austria(at http://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/~helwig/smileys.html).
It hasn't been updated in a while, but good smileys never go bad.
• Don't miss The Jargon File, which has evolved over more than thirty years and was published a few years ago as the New Hacker's Dictionary. It's at http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/jargon/.
• You can find a far-too-complete list of abbreviations at BABEL: A Glossary of Computer Oriented Abbreviations and Acronyms, at http://www.cis.columbia.edu/glossary.html. You might also like the list of acronyms at Steve's Chatter's Jargon Dictionary, at http://www.stevegrossman.com/jargpge.htm.
• NetLingo's Smileys and Emoticons is at http://www.netlingo.com/smiley.cfm.
